High Speed is one of the best early Coldplay songs

Absolutely. I've seen several folks call it the weakest track on Parachutes, but I prefer it to probably half the tracks. It's a rather toned-down listen, but the gentle tune really sucks you in at the beginning.

I agree also. I think it's the only song on Parachutes with that REALLLLY early Coldplay "sound".... does anyone know what I'm talking about? :confused:

If you mean pre-Parachutes sound, I agree, which is not surprising since it was indeed first released before Parachutes.

yeah that's what I meant. And yes, that's also correct.

 

Also, I rather like We Never Change, but it's not SUPER AMAZING or anything

"We Never Change" is definitely my least favorite song on Parachutes, and even though I don't dislike it, it doesn't come close to the serene beauty of "High Speed". Lyrically, both songs are okay though nothing special, although combined with the "living life inside a bubble" line repeated in High Speed, I always envision a gently blowing field with surreal orange bubbles floating upward when listening to it.

YES. High Speed is amazing. One of my favourite early-Coldplay songs!

 

Plus, being as it's the only song from their previous works to make it onto Parachutes is pretty awesome. :P

 

Don't Panic did too.

 

Different versions, but still.

High Speed = ownage and highly underrated.

 

If you all must ask, it conjures images of a sunny day in a city and being trapped inside a bubble with many others in their own. :P

 

EDIT - Floating. In the air. Whee.
